tions Under Hot Fire.
LONDON, May 12.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Sir John Gerst, Parliamentary
Secretary for the Indian Office, moved sec
ond reading of the bill granting leave of
absence to the Duke of Connaught com
mander of the forces in India, in order that
he might attend the jubilee festivities.
Lewis Dillwyn, Q4iberaD moved to re-
ject the motion. He said there
was a strong feeling in the country
against the appointment of exalted person
ages to positions to command over the heads
of Others. If appointments were to be given
on account of relationship to 5he throne the
persons SO appointed ought to be under the
same conditions that applied to others.
Sir John Swinburne QIiberaD, captain
of the royal navy, seconded Mr.. Dillwyn's
motion. He condemned the system under
which royalties had the choice of the best
places in the army and navy without having
passed through the different grades There
was the Duke of Cambridge, now Field Mar
shal, who had never served as ensign,
lieutenant, captain, major, or lieutenant
colonel
The Speaker, interrupting, said the mem
Der was travelling beyond the question. The
bill only concerned the return OF the Duke
of Connaught.
Sir Jonn, continuing, said it would be a
graceful act on the part of the Duke to re-
tire in order that some distinguished officer
might take his place. There was an enor-
nous amount of ineffective service and
waste of money in consequence of exalted
persons holding high rank.
The Speaker here ruled Sir John out of
order
Mr.. Labouchere denounced the bill as OBJ
sequious and servile.
Division was taken, resulting in vote of
31S in favor and 45 against the bill.
Mr.. Labouchere moved to reduce the vote
for jubilee services in Westminster Abbey
from Ell, 900 to $4,000. The motion was
rejected oy vote of 1913 to 80.

Secretary Bayard Very Conciliatory
Toward the Complainants.
OTTAWA, ONT, May 12-The correspon-
dence with reference to the seizure of the
British Columbia sealers in Behring's sea
was brought down in Parliament tonight
The Canadian government has demanded
reparation from the United States for the
seizures, but in his latest reply, dated in
January, Secretary of State Bayard said
he could not come to any decision until GER
tain papers reached him from Alaska. In
the meantime he gave instructions for the
release of the schooners. Since then the
captains of the vessels have put in large
claims for damages
British Minister West, in conversation
with Secretary Bayard, represented to him
the unjuStifiable nature of the seizures.
Secretary Bayard contended that the
United States had obtained the right to
Behring's sea from the Russians
Minister West then pointed out that when
Russia had Alaska the United States gov
ernment had contested claims similar to
those it was now making, which Secretary
Bayard admitted. Mr.. West, however, in
his dispatch to the imperial government
says that Secretary Bayard was very concili-
atOrV.

Circuit Court.

Judge Fields, the newly elected cir
cult Judge, was in the city yesterday
in conference with a number of the
attorneys and the circuit clerk in re-
lation to the coming term of court,
which meets tomorrow. His object
was to post himself in the probable
requirements of the term. 1t is need
less to say he found an imposing ar
ray of cases, but as the attorneys
promise to push things the chances
are there will be an immense amount
of business done. Most of the cases
have little interert ourside the parties
involved. The main cases which are
likely to attract attention being very
few. Among them are the Sugden
and Cloud will cases, one or two old
divorce cases and several damage
cases growing out of the late strike.

Has Enough to Bother Him.

There is young married lady on
Sixth street who carries a heavy load
on her mind because she has been too
severe with her husband. In CONVEX
sation with reporter of this paper,
she said:
liam going to take all the care off of
A that l can. The other morn
ing / tsld him that we were all out of
wood, and to be sure and buy some.
Well, I waited all day and that
wood didn't come, and / was almost
angry, for, said l, he has forgotten it
as usual. A. didn't come home
until late, long after / had retired.
He had been detained by important
business matters, he said. He was
awfully restless and kept talking in
his sleep, saying every once in a
while, 'Give me another dollars worth
of chips So you see knew that his
mind was troubled about that wood.
How much it must have worried him
to thus disturb his rest. Hereafter
I'm going to attend to all house mat
tiers myself. Poor man! he has
enough to bother him without doing
home errands."

BOycOtting.

An unusual boycott has been start
ed in Chatham, n. Y, which, though
novel, has assumed such shape that
it bids fair to become serious. A
short time since Jacob Roberts was
made postmaster. The appointment
did not give satisfaction to the MAORI
ty of the citizens and a boycott was
declared. They refused to purchase
stamps at the Office or mail there let
tiers there. They now purchase their
stamps in a neighboring drug store
and then either post their letters on a
mail car or send them to. New York
by friends. Of course in many cases
they are obliged to receive their let
tiers at the postofice, this does not in
the least add to the receipts of the
Office. Many Of the ladies are receiv-
ing their mail at their hus-
bands Offices. It is prob.
able that congress will be petit.
toned to remove the unpopular pest
master. Associate Press Dispatch.
If this sort of a thing was to be
inaugurated in Sedalia, the Democrat
would probably not be such an ardent
advocate of the higher order of civil.
zation as it has been.
Boycotting in times of peace is like
bush-whacking in time ofwar.

County School Commissioners.

nj. p. Gilchrist, of Chilicothe,
commissioner of public schools for
Livingston county, Mo-, was in the
city yesterday enroute home from the
state convention of county school
commissioners which adjourned atJef.
erson City Friday. Mr.. Gilchrist stated
that the convention was harmonious
and interesting and that a large
amount of important business was
transacted. The attendance he SAYS
was not so large as it should have
been, owing to the fact that the facil-
ties for reaching Jefferson City are too
poor and expensive to be available to
many. The convention in order to
overcome this difficulty decided to
meet next year in Sedalia at which
time the matter ofcounty supervision
and other equally important questions
concerning the the management of
public schools are to receive attention.
The convention will meet in Sedalia
